Thanks to an arrest that took place last April, the Los Angeles Rams realized they were taking a risk on former Western Kentucky standout Tyler Higbee after selecting the tight end in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Clearly, the last thing the Rams wanted to deal with was bring on a player that was going to be a problem off the football field, but luckily that doesn’t appear to be the case for Higbee.
Even though he was limited to only 11 catches as a rookie for 85 yards with a touchdown, expectations are high for Higbee entering his sophomore season with Los Angeles, especially with new head coach Sean McVay calling the shots on offense.
